(-1, 3) and (4, -2)
(2, -3) and (2, 4)
First of all we need to find the slope for each line;
(-1,3) (4,-2)
m=%28-2-3%29%2F%284-%28-1%29%29
m=-5%2F5
m=-1
Now use either of the given points to find the point slope form;
y-(-2)=-1%2F1(x-3)
y-(-2)=-x-3
y=-x-3-2
y=-x-5
Now lets look at the next set of points;
(2,-3), (2,4)
m=%284-%28-3%29%29%2F%282-2%29%29
m=7/0
undefined
Hope you understand
